[Clinico-diagnostic and therapeutic considerations on retroperitoneal liposarcoma].
Two patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma are presented to determine the accuracy of diagnostic methods and the role of surgical treatment. In both the patients the large retroperitoneal liposarcoma recurred locally after surgery. Histological features, clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, extent of surgical resection and adjuvant treatment are reviewed. These data suggest that an aggressive surgical approach followed by adjuvant postoperative irradiation is the treatment of choice in primary and recurrent neoplasms.
